Farnese, Cinque Autoctoni Collection Release 2023

Farnese Cinque Autoctoni Collection Release 2023 is a richly styled Italian red that brings together five native grape varieties — Montepulciano, Primitivo, Sangiovese, Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera — in one distinctive blend. Crafted from fruit sourced in Colonnella, Ortona, Sava and Manduria, it reflects the warm, sun-drenched character of southern Italy and the long tradition of working with indigenous varieties. Part of the celebrated Cinque Autoctoni range, it offers a bold, approachable expression with real depth and personality.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby-red color with violet reflections, hinting at its youthful energy and concentration. The nose opens with generous aromas of blackberry, cherry and dried red fruits, lifted by a subtle spicy edge. On the palate, the wine is structured yet well balanced, with enough freshness to keep the richness in check. Soft tannins and a long finish give it a polished feel, while the concentrated fruit and spice suggest good aging potential over the next few years.

Production
The grapes come from carefully selected vineyards in Colonnella, Ortona, Sava and Manduria, areas that contribute ripeness, depth and aromatic intensity. A distinctive feature of the production is that the grapes are left to dry on the vine before harvest, with picking taking place about a month later to enhance concentration. Fermentation is followed by malolactic conversion and 18 months of aging in barriques, which adds texture, complexity and integration.

Food & Serving
This is a natural partner for rich appetizers, red meat dishes and mature cheeses, where its fruit, structure and spice can stand up to bold flavors. Serve it at 16–18°C to bring out the aromatic depth and balance, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if you want to soften the tannins and open the wine further.
